The ceremonial county of 'Kent',
(which includes the unitary authority of
Medway),
is divided into 17 Parliamentary constituencies
- 1 Borough constituency
and 16 County constituencies.

Name	Current boundaries
# Ashford CC# Canterbury CC# Chatham and Aylesford CC# Dartford CC# Dover CC# Faversham and Mid Kent CC# Folkestone and Hythe CC# Gillingham BC# Gravesham CC# Maidstone and The Weald CC# Medway CC# North Thanet CC# Sevenoaks CC# Sittingbourne and Sheppey CC# South Thanet CC# Tonbridge and Malling CC# Tunbridge Wells CC	Parliamentary constituencies in Kent

Current proposals by the Boundary Commission for England would retain these
17 constituencies, with changes to realign constituency boundaries
with the boundaries of current local government wards,
and to reduce the electoral disparity between constituencies.
They have however recommended two name changes:
Gillingham to
Gillingham and Rainham
to reflect the similar stature of the two towns,
and Medway to
Rochester and Strood
to avoid confusion with the larger Medway unitary authority.
These changes are expected to be implemented at the United Kingdom general election, 2009/10.
